Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand

I search for the time on a watch with no hands

I want to see you clearly, come closer than this

But all I remember are the dreams in the mist...

Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

I usually do this exclusively on Instagram but who cares? There are no rules anyway. So this one's another retro for today's Flashback Friday :)

Home to dance and songs, this grand and mesmerizing work of art is one of Australia's national pride.

“...light becomes evident in darkness. We do not create light by avoiding those who are captives of darkness; but we become light by illuminating the night."

― C. JoyBell C.

I just didn't like the horror stories I've heard about these creatures getting aggressive and hurting visitors. They say these monkeys are also good at stealing stuff so you better hold on to your belongings.

Celebrating New Year's eve on the island of Bali, Indonesia with my friends Paz, Jamie, and Kuya Voltaire. 

Another sunset, another year over, another dawn, another beginning. 

The future may be unknown but one thing is certain - the ever faithful God - 

the Lord Jesus is the same yesterday and today, and forever! 

Happy new year, everyone!

“Solitude is a chosen separation for refining your soul. 

Isolation is what you crave when you neglect the first.”

I already had this photo posted on Hamlet's Lair in July 2012 but only shared it on IG early February 2013. Asia Travelgram featured it in July 2013.

Jesus is the only bridge for all mankind to get to God.

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the world's widest long-span bridge, the fifth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world, and the world's tallest steel arch bridge. 

"By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God." - Hebrews 11:9-10

Conceived and designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, the Sydney Opera House is Sydney's most famous landmark and one of the most distinctive structures in the world.

The Opera House model alone took seven years to build and 17 years to complete the actual building.

This UNESCO World Heritage site rests close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

“I will give you something to prove that I made this promise to you. It will continue forever to show that I have made an agreement with you and every living thing on earth. I am putting a rainbow in the clouds as proof of the agreement between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, you will see the rainbow in the clouds. This agreement says that a flood will never again destroy all life on the earth. When I look and see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the agreement that continues forever. I will remember the agreement between me and every living thing on the earth.”
